Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition is a metroidvania style action-platformer. The game draws its inspiration from traditional Mexican culture and folklore.

Guacamelee! builds upon the classic open-world metroidvania style of games, by adding a strong melee combat component, a new dimension switching mechanic, and cooperative same-screen multiplayer for the entire story. The game also blurs the boundaries between combat and platforming by making many of the moves useful and necessary for both of these.

Guacamelee! features a down on his luck Mexican named Juan Aguacate, who sets out to save the world when El Presidenteï¿½s Daughter is kidnapped by an Evil Charro Skeleton named Carlos Calaca. The story takes place in and around a small village in Mexico, and has the player swapping between dimensions known as ï¿½The Living Worldï¿½ and ï¿½The Dead Worldï¿½ on his quest to rescue the girl he loves.
